Top pick: #8 (KNIGHTED) (4-1) - He's one of two entered by trainer Bob Diodoro and the pair race uncoupled. He ran poorly last out on a very muddy track in a contest that was switched to the main-track. Clearly better on the grass and he missed by a head at this level and distance in his previous start.
2nd pick: #5 (But You Promised) (2-1) - The probable heavy favorite, he comes from Gulfstream where he ran well facing tougher while in the barn of "Hall of Famer" "Shug" Mcgaughey. Working fast for his local debut and it would have been easy to make him the top pick. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Get Moving) (9-2) - Santa Anita invader has a new trainer (Dan McFarland 22% with new arrivals) and colt showed fine eary speed before weakening on March 10th. He tries the grass and is making back-to-back starts, both for the first time.
4th pick: #7 (Modern Gentleman) (12-1) - Not a win candidate, but he has lasix added for the first time and could grab a minor award at a very big price.
